OK. Everything is now working. Things I learned: 1. The "Info" message concerning servlet.jar is really an error message. Things simply don't work if you have a servlet.jar, servlet-api.jar or jsp-api.jar file in your WEB-INF/lib directory. This was most of my problem. 2. The docBase is not required in a Context (despite what the documentation says). If you think about a context.xml file in a META-INF directory, it makes sense that would be the case. You don't need a path either. 3. There was a minor problem in the Realm I presented. If the Realm and the Resource it refers to are together in a Context, then you need a localDataSource="true" in the Realm to make it work.
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. It got me going down the right path.
